That’s right! After a two+ year hiatus, 4PARL is back. Over the past year I have been posting at http://ragesofanon.wordpress.com/. But I am going back to this blog for my baseball posts. Below are some links to some articles put up on that blog.

Wow, I am getting lazy when it comes to posting. Hopefully I didn’t lose my small cult following. Either way, I am opening this blog up. No longer just baseball. That might drive you away, or bring new readers in. For now though that’s going to be the way of the land, because it will motivate me to write. Daily life, my job, other sports, working out, etc, etc.

For now, here is a pic of an Amare Stoudamire walk. My friend says the play was cleaan- no travel. So I got freeze frames of the vid to prove him wrong.

Gil McDougald might be the most unappreciated Yankee of all-time. He posted a 3+ fWAR in nine of his ten career seasons, and had a 5.7 WAR/700. Had he not retired early at the age of 32, he arguably might have played long enough to be a worthy Hall of Famer. He played second, third, AND short and fielded each position superbly. It’s a shame it took his death for him to get any recognition at all from the baseball world. But he seemed like the type of man who wanted it that way.

As for Nielson, unless you lived in a cave you are aware of his cinema legacy. The Naked Gun is one of my favorite comedies of all-time and Airplane wasn’t so bad either. It’s a sad day/week for baseball and movie fans alike.

Recently, you have been reading some posts titled “Clearing the Bases”. This is a series we are doing throughout the rest of winter. We will be doing a post on all thirty teams and the topic can be anything- past, present, or future- thus the title.

Also, we have added some fantastic writers. We added someone who goes by the handle “wisf” and you can read his work here. That post has actually been our biggest read in the blog’s history. So yeah, he is pretty good. Someone else we added, “10th batter”, has been helping with our thirty team post series and YC will continue his top 100 players of all-time list.
